PORTABLE COOKING APPARATUS.

SEECEICATEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,979, dated March 25, 1902.

Application tiled October 14, 1901. Serial No. 78,599. (N0 modell) To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAKOB WIDMER, a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Zurich, Switzerland, (Whose post-ofiice address is 16 IIaldenbachstrasse, Zurich,) have invented new and useful Improvements in Portable Cooking Apparatus, (for which I have made application for patents in Switzerland, dated July S, 1901, No. 27,168; in Austria, dated July 15, 1901; in Germany, dated August 12, 1901; in France, dated August 14, 1901, and in England, dated September 26, 1901, No. 19,1S5,) of which the following is a specification. l

My invention relates to an improved construction of portable cooking apparatus principally adapted for the use of tourists and the military and which apparatus is much simpler, lighter, and takes up less room than such as hitherto in use. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the cooking apparatus packed up ready for transport; Fig. 2, a vertical section when readyior use, and Fig. 3 a plan thereoi1 with the cooking vessel removed.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In carrying out my invention and referring to the figures generally my improved cooking apparatus has a stand a, furnished with pointed feet l), which when the cooking apparatus is packed up for transport reach over and grip a rim c, formed onthe cooking vessel d, (see Fig. 1,) and thus secure the stand a to the latter'.

To the inside of the said stand is pivoted atf a bridge e, having a bend 7L, furnished with arms t', projecting from each side upward, between which the fuel-box l, furnished witlra lid lt', is clamped, the said box being filled with solidified spirit or petroleum.

In packing up the cooking apparatusfor transport the bridge @,With the box Z, is turned upward and the stand a then placed over the cooking vessel d, the fuel-box Z resting upon the latter, and the feet l) securing the stand Ct to the cooking Vessel d, as previously described.

When it is desired to use the cooking apparatus, the stand ct is removed from the cooking vessel d, the bridge ct turned into the position shown in Fig. 2, in which the fuel-box Zis between the legs l), the cooking vessel placed upon the stand d, and the lid 7c relnoved from the fuel-box l, when the apparatus is ready for use.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A transportable cooking apparatus, consistingof a stand and of a cooking vessel, the former being adapted to be placed over and secured to the latter for transport and to carry a fuel-box capable of being set into use below the cooking vessel and above the same in packing up the apparatus, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

JAKOB VIDMER.
